Vielen herzlichen Dank an Jean, dass er uns die Möglichkeit gab uns bei #LinuxGuides vorstellen zu dürfen.

I’m impressed how many apps actually expose the menu via dbus or at-spi! Basically only gtk4 and custom renderers don’t (including everything iced).
Firefox and Betterbird do! And with some app choices, most of the apps I use support global menu.

Desktop Linux just cracked 10% market share - and Windows 11 is mostly to blame
https://zdnet.com/article/the-linux-desktop-finally-cracks-the-10-market-share-barrier/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn
Windows is in decline, and both Macs and #Linux are gaining ground at its expense.
I am exceptionally disappointed in the centrist decision taken by #Debian on LLM usage. I'll be halting any work I do that might benefit Debian, including reporting bugs.
I have used Debian since at least 2000, but I will be actively working to find another "default" #Linux distribution.

Having tasted the mighty #ZFS on #FreeBSD , I have always been wondering how it would work with #Linux , so I fired up #Alpine Linux with the #ZFSBootMenu on my #ThinkPad T470s. Not bad! And #systemd free experience is still nostalgic and enjoyable!

Hi all and especially the amazing Linux and more specifically, Linux Mint people who could possibly help me out once again.
As always, the various search engines are coming up with everything I don't need help with.
I have a 2TB external drive which is in 3 partitions. I can see all the existing files and folders. However, I am backing up some music folders onto it and here is the issue. The backed up folders are not visible and after copying IDK, about 20+ folders, I get an error:
Error creating directory /media/rose/WD Passport/Music/BLUES: Input/output error
I tried Disks and GParted to fix but no use. I'm trying to run fsck on it but am failing as it won't accept my bloody password even though I use it all the time (of course!). If I try to re-copy one of the folders I get the usual message asking what I want to do with it (merge etc) and with most, I can then replace/skip etc. So it's sounds like a bad sector or something, hence the disk utils and fsck. There's plenty of space left on it, about 1/2 TB.
Any / all offers of help will be happily put to the test.
